This study aims at modern translation as an art, science, skill, and strategic and important theories to connect the peoples of the world with each other, due to the commonalities between peoples in terms of humanity, livelihood, civilization, economy, and culture at various levels. It has become difficult to ignore the universality of translation and its important position in various fields, and the rapid and amazing developments it has undergone as an art, skill, and then a science that has developed towards the better. This development was followed by important theories to guide translation towards the brighter and more prosperous better, such as the theories of Jacobson, Garces, Catford, Eugene Nida, George Steiner, Efim Ankid, Antoine Berman, Edmond Carey, and others.
In this study, the researcher tried, through description and analysis, to address modern translation, its developments, and its most prominent and important theories, based on the problem that we formulate as follows: What about modern translation as an art, skills, and theories? What is new in it? Through this research paper, the researcher addressed the universality of translation, types of translation, its status, and focus on it as an art, skill, and theories that keep pace with the civilization of the peoples of the world and play the largest role in it. The research reached a number of results, and the goal is to contribute in order to enrich the translation library, even if only to a small extent.
